There are over 120 apps on my phone, but those special four are Phone, Safari, Messages, and Voxer.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Voxer is my favorite option of communicating with my friends and family and has been for a couple of years now. I travel internationally quite frequently, and as it is I don\u2019t live in the same place as any of my best friends. I don\u2019t get to see them regularly in any sense of the word, so we use Voxer to keep our communication fresh, whether I am in the country or not.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we still believe in phone calls. But you know what? The convenience of Voxer beats that of a phone call. I can open my Voxer app, talk to my friends and carry on voice conversations that fit our busy schedules. If we were depending on phone calls to keep our communication up, it just wouldn\u2019t happen. In fact, I\u2019ve been there, and sadly, it doesn\u2019t happen. Voxer has given us an opportunity to share things with each other throughout the day, no matter if the other person is available at the moment or not.<\/p>\n<p>As a traveler, I especially love the fact that it functions on WiFi. This allows me to continue to use it while I\u2019m overseas without access to my data plan.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend Voxer on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebudgetmindedtraveler.com\/\">my travel blog<\/a> all the time, because it really is a major element of my daily communications. If you haven\u2019t tried it, get it, and get your friends to download it. You will be doing yourselves and your friendships a favor.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 484px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/jlaulainen-voxer_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/jlaulainen-voxer_.jpg\" alt=\"JLaulainen.Voxer\" width=\"484\" height=\"486\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yep, I even have a Voxer hoodie!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jackie Laulainen is a Travel Blogger and Podcaster at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.TheBudgetMindedTraveler.com\">www.TheBudgetMindedTraveler.com<\/a>.
